Tiamat LADY OF THE AURORA BASIN
|
Her eyes wander over the reef—the very reef that they had wandered to upon
With a purse of her sapphire lips and a wordless gesture to her companion, the sea maiden turns herself towards the shore. Pushing up from the ground, she flounders gracelessly with her legs for a moment (still getting used to this whole swimming thing versus walking or running) before she settles into a stride that carries her towards the surface. It is easier once her hooves find purchase again, the ground shallow enough now that she is able to stand. Thrusting her head into the summer air with a great fan of water spraying from her hair, Tiamat chokes for a moment, coughing while the gills slowly disappear from her neck as the water streams from her slender body.
Blinking her eyes, she notices the figures along the shoreline. “Hello!” She calls out to them, coughing once more before she sighs naturally through her nostrils, quickly recognizing the two equines for who they are once she is able to compose herself. “Toulouse! Weaver!” The Ocean’s Light is, as usual, bright and effervescent like always, truly excited to see two of the members who share her beloved mountain home. “How’re you two?” She inquires across the distance, moving through the shallow waves to join them.
Behind her, Nimue finally bursts from the ocean, trilling a happy whistle as she leaps from the frothy waves. Bounding across the rolling surface, she catches up to her bonded, her blue eyes as big and bright as the mare’s. The little orca is crooning low chirps when they approach the pair, hovering close to the sea maiden’s shoulder. “What’re you doing? Building something?” Tiamat asks enthusiastically, carrying on as though rising suddenly from the ocean to join them isn’t completely bizarre. “Can I help?” She smiles to Toulouse, already reaching forward with a hoof to help him dig up some sort of sandy structure.
“Speech.”
